"Mom, what are you afraid of? They're just clouds." said Vaati.
"They're not just any clouds, Vaati, they're rain clouds. And do you know what that means? Rain." Rain was one of the top killers of Minish and as soon as that first rumble of thunder boomed, Vaati and his mother jumped.
"Get ready to run." Mrs. Picoru said. Vaati felt his heart pound. A loud crash of thunder broke out. And with that, huge raindrops started to fall. They were like giant cannonballs that were almost impossible to avoid.
"Run!" Mrs. Picoru screamed. As she dashed across the dirt road.
"Wait! Wait! I can't keep up with you!" Vaati cried out, wanting to follower her, but his feet were planted.
"Hurry up!"
Vaati just stood on the other side of the road, "I'm not going!"
"You get your butt over here right now, young man!"
"But it's safer over here!"
"No, it's not! You can either stay there and die, or follow me and we might be able to get back home in time." said Mrs. Picoru, impatient. Just then, a big whoosh of water came streaming down the hill making it impossible for the young Minish to reach his mother now. He stared down nervously at the rapid waters.
"Uh...uh..." he gulped and took one step forward. Suddenly he felt himself being shot down the rapids. "AHHH!!!" he screeched at the top of his lungs. "Mommy, help me!"
"I'm coming, sweetheart!" she ran down the hill, still on land. But she wasn't fast enough, Vaati was just going way to fast for her. There's only one way to get to him at such a high speed. Mrs. Picoru thought as she lifted one foot and set it down in the water. WHOOSH!!!
Meanwhile, further down the road, which was now a dangerous river, there was a large ditch and the water got deeper. I can swim! I can swim! Vaati thought. But no matter how much he wanted to believe that he could swim, he just couldn't. Struggling to stay above the water, he kicked his legs and swung his arms as if he were trying to escape from a kidnapper. "MOMMIIIIEEE!!!!" he screamed. Sinking deeper and deeper into the cold, black water, Vaati started to feel his life disappear...
**********************************************************************************
I must admit, I kinda got the "felt his life disappear..." from OnlyKafei on Quizilla. Except they used "she" instead of "he" I'll tend to do that.
I hate suspence! But I love the twist, who will live, Mother or Son?!
Lol. Well, I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but, if Vaati were to die now, how would he become an evil, humanoid, wind mage? :D ...You know what...I'm just gonna do what Akatsuki suggested and post it all in one topic. The next one, chapters one, two, three, and four will be there...
nice story.
Of course! I posted it on your site! ;) Thanks!
